Are your headlights NAM spec? Your best bet might be upgrading to Euro lamps followed by an HID kit. The lamps or headlights should be around $150 for the TYC brand, then the HID conversionm kit around $500. But all in all it's well worth it

True about the beam pattern being off, it will be L-shaped with w201 euros. I don't think they would be blinding though depending on what type they were. What about bi-xeon?

Hi Butch,

The best affordabe lights that I have ever seen for the W123 is 7" Cibie E-code lights. They seem to be better than the factory euro lights.
